Chapter 5- Stolen Weapons and a Quest
AN: Should I do any other POVs?
As you can see I'm doing a bit of Thalia's POV later on in the chapter for a change, but please recommend anymore if you want any :3
-🐳Percy's first person POV🐳-
"Hey, Thals?" I said, looking at Thalia from the branch we were sat on.
"Yeah?"
"Don't hate me for this"
"What do you me-"
"I swear on the River Styx to find a way to get you out of this tree permanently"
She gasped, then slapped me upside the head.
"Why did you do that?! What if you don't find a way?! Percy, it's just me, I'm fine! I can't have anything happen to yo-"
"Sparky, I care about you, and I'm sure you have plenty more goals on your bucket list"
She sighed, then pulled me into a tight hug,
"Thank you" she whispered.
-🐳Line Break🐳-
A half celestial bronze and half human metal (can't remember what it was) sword clattered onto the floor.
Backbiter.
I held up Riptide to Luke's neck.
"Yield?"
He sighed, it caused a bit of his sandy blonde hair that was on his forehead to flip up onto his head.
"Yes, I yield"
I smiled at him, then removed my sword from his neck,
"That was pretty fun" I grinned, shot him with my finger guns, then strolled off to the woods.
What? I'm going to chat with some wolf pack that I found, they're pretty funny!
"Hey, wolves" I greeted, the alpha- which apparently hasn't been tamed ever according to Chiron- came and licked my face with a saliva- covered tongue.
I just laughed while wiping it off.
"Hey, Alpha! How's the pack doing?"
"Fine" he answered in a gruff voice in my head.
"That's good to hear, have the pups been born yet?"
His mate, Silver, is pregnant.
"Not yet, but they should be very soon"
"Awesome sauce, can I go and speak with your pack?"
"Percy, you're always welcome, you saved Moonie's life!" (Moonie is a pup)
"Thanks, Alpha, but still, I want to be respectful to your family"
He gave me a wolffish grin, his silver fur slightly covering his deep brown eyes, then we jogged over to the rest of the pack.
-⚡️Line Break⚡️-
(⚡️Thalia's POV⚡️)
I felt a hand touch my bark.
"Thalia, it's Percy" A recognisable voice said softly.
My spirit slipped out of the tree and I materialised next to kelp head.
"Hey, how come you're here so early, you only have to be in your cabin at 9, it's 7:30?" I questioned, catching his eyes with mine. His raven hair was covering his forehead and, considering he's 12, he has a bit of muscle on his visible arms. His tanned skin seemed to glow with warmth in the sunset and his eyes were a soft, almost golden colour as the sun reflected in them.
I'll admit, I have a bit of a crush on him.
"I was bored and Chiron just dropped a bomb on me" he trailed off, his eyebrows scrunched together as he was obviously in deep thought.
I put my hand on his shoulder,
"You can talk to me about anything, Seaweed Brain"
He gave me a lopsided grin, my heart fluttered like a million butterflies.
"Thanks, let's hop up onto our branch then"
He proceeded to gracefully clamber up the tree, onto the usual branch we sat on. I joined him soon after.
"So, what's this big news?" I questioned, gazing at the sunset.
-🐳Percy's first person POV🐳-
I almost died.
When Thalia gazed at the sunset, her pale face was dusted with a warm, orange glow, her pink lips were a soft, yellow and her eyes, gods, her electric blue eyes were filled with sunset red, they seemed to mix as if they were on a paint pallet, and became a very blueish lilac colour.
I may have a tiny crush on her.
"It's about Zeus' and Hades' symbols of power" I stated, snapping out of my trance.
When she looked at me, her eyes seemed to get dreamy, like she was staring at the hottest person ever.
"Go on"
"They've been stolen"
She gasped, and put a translucent hand to cover her mouth in shock.
"What?!" She squeaked.
"You heard me right, Zeus' master bolt was stolen and Hades' helm of darkness is gone too"
"Oh my gods"
"I know, but it's worst for me... They blamed my father, Poseidon, because his wasn't stolen, but it's against Ancient Laws for a god to do that directly, so now, they think Poseidon got me to steal them..."
"What?!" She sounded more angry now, "But you've been here the whole time!"
"Zeus just wants someone to blame, no offence or anything" I added quickly to the end.
"None taken."
"But it got worse, Chiron is worried I might endanger the camp because Zeus and Hades are mad at me for no reason, so now I'm going on a quest to
1. Keep the camp safe by staying away from them. And
2. Try to clear my name by finding the weapons."
-⚡️Thalia's POV⚡️-
I tried not to seem upset by the fact Percy was leaving to go on a quest.
"Oh"
"I know you're gonna be by yourself," he started, looking at me with guilt in his eyes "but I have to go, I don't want you or the camp getting hurt"
He sounded a lot older than 12 when he said that.
"You're way too selfless, Percy, sometimes it's okay to be a little selfish" I said, sending him a small smile.
"I'll miss your sparky self while I'm away" he said playfully.
"Well I'll miss your seaweed filled head while you're away" I said with the same amount of playfulness.
We laughed together, but then he became serious.
"Annabeth and Luke are coming with me by the way"
"I thought they would... I'll miss all three of you"
"I know, but we'll be back soon enough...do you want to hear the prophecy?" He asked me,
"Sure"
"You shall go north to the God of the sun,
You will find what's been stolen but you've just begun,
You shall be betrayed by one who calls you friend,
And you will discover the thing you'll use for a promise, in the end."
While he spoke, I'm sure his green eyes glowed slightly.
"Hmmm" I started, "I don't like the third line... but everything else seems fine"
"Yeah, but the last line, I hope it's about you. You know, the promise I made.."
"Me too. Then you don't have to come back to this tree for us to hang out" he smiled at that.
"Even when there's two powerful gods after me and I have to go on a dangerous quest, you still know how to make me smile" he stated.
My heart warmed when he said that, he really did appreciate me.
The conch horn sounded.
"Well then... I'll try and speak to you tomorrow morning, early doors, so I can say bye, okay?"
"Yeah that's fine, see you then"
He grinned then started to walk away, obviously after shooting me with his signature finger guns. :P
AN: Well then, turns out Percy and Thalia both have a crush on each other, but they're still only twelve, so no relationship.....
...yet ;)
